In another district of Al-Sham and
at the same journey in which Abu-Talib had taken Muhammad (P.
B.U.H.) with him, Abu Talib came across a great Pontiff called:
Nastora who was looking admirably at Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) during
the whole three days of his being there and in the third day
Nastora turned towards Muhammad looking at his body for something
lost in the small body of Muhammad which made Abu-Talib ask the
monk: "As though you want something from him?" The Pontiff
answered: "Yes, I want that—What is his name?
Abu Talib promptly replied:
Muhammad bin Abdullah "at which Nastora's face turned pale with
astonishment and asked Abu Talib to uncover the back of
Muhammad's body (P.B.U.H.) and he agreed to that and he saw the
seal there carved on his back.
He kissed him and started weeping
at what he had seen. The Pontiff has declared his warnings as was
done by Bahira and asked Abu Talib to return Muhammad as soon as
possible to the place where he was born because his enemies in
Al-Sham increased in number and if he knew their real number in
the country he wouldn't have brought him to it.
